Your security questions answered

What can I do to keep my accounts safe?

ANZ Plus is backed by ANZ’s powerful security, ANZ Falcon® anti-fraud monitoring technology, so we're always on the lookout for suspicious activity.

When it comes to preventing unauthorised activity using your card or device, there are a few things you can do to help protect your money. 

  1. Turn on push notifications
    So you can track transactions using your card and accounts.
  2. Adjust your daily payment limits
    To stay in control of the money going out of your accounts.
  3. Keep Scam Safe controls turned on
    Scam Safe is designed to help protect you against fraud and scam attempts.
  4. If you can't find your card, lock it!
    This will prevent any unauthorised transactions using your card and if it turns up, you can unlock it right away. If your card doesn't turn up, or if you know you've lost it, you can Cancel and Replace it in the Card tab of the app.
  5. Don't use PINs that can be easily guessed
    Avoid using things like a birthday or numbers that represent your name when setting your PINs.
  6. Never share your PINs with anyone
    We'll never ask you for your Access PIN or card PIN on the phone or via email or SMS. It's also best to remember your PIN by heart – we don't recommend writing it down.
  7. Check your accounts and review your transactions regularly
    If you notice any unknown merchants or unauthorised transactions, report them right away.
  8. If you're worried, send us a message
    The sooner you flag anything suspicious, the more likely we'll be able to help, so if you notice anything out of the ordinary, let us know right away.

How to spot a scam

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Scams are attempts by individuals or groups to purposefully mislead you and get your money.

Anyone, including you, can fall victim to a scam. That’s because scammers don’t discriminate and target people of any gender, age group or socio-economic background.

It's important to know what you're looking for if you become the target of a scam. 

Look for the red flags

  • Do you know the person contacting you?
  • Have you been asked to receive and send money on behalf of a third party?
  • Do you know the person you are sending money to?
  • Do you understand why you are sending money?
  • Have you been asked to send money for a transaction you haven’t made? 
  • Have you been asked to grant remote access to your device?
  • Have you been asked to pay via an unusual payment method, such as Bitcoin or gift cards?

A scam may also involve someone calling you and requesting your account information or personal details. Be very careful about sharing your Access PIN, card PIN or account details on the phone or via email or SMS. ANZ Plus will never ask you to disclose this information via email, SMS or on the phone.

Scammers often target people using information obtained via social media. Please be mindful of what you share online.

If you feel you've been the victim of a scam, or have shared any personal information with a scammer, please send us a message right away.

What types of scams are there?

Some scams are easy to spot, while others, not so much. You may not even notice the signs until it’s too late.

A good way to protect yourself is by being aware of the most common scams.

Remote access scams

These are generally calls to inform you that you have a computer or internet problem, and they need remote access to your device to fix the issue. The caller may try to convince you by claiming to be from a well-known company and quote a fake issue number or employee ID. Don’t fall for it, these companies will never call you unprompted to request remote access to your device. The easiest way to protect yourself is to hang up and never give an unsolicited caller remote access to your device.

Job scams

These can take many forms. Scammers may contact you to offer a high-paying job that requires little to no effort and ask you to make an upfront payment to secure it. Another type of job scam involves tricking you into receiving money in your account and passing it on to another account. A percentage of this amount will be offered to you as a commission. This is likely to be a form of money laundering making you a part of the criminal activity.

Romance scams

Scammers take advantage of people looking for romantic partners. They target people on online dating platforms and social media. Once they’ve gained your trust, they may ask for money, your personal details, banking information or even try to get you to do something illegal unwittingly. There are some initial warning signs to look for, such as they don’t tell you much about themselves, they ask you to keep the relationship a secret and they refuse to meet face-to-face or in-person.

Business email compromise scam

This is when a supplier, vendor or a business you know, suddenly notifies you their payment details have changed and asks you to make a payment to the new or updated account. Before making any payment to the new account, please confirm by contacting them via verified and previously used channels.

Investment scams

If you receive an unsolicited call, email or SMS about an investment opportunity that promises big payouts, quick money or guaranteed returns, it is most likely a scam. They may try to lure you in by dropping names and wild projections. Don’t make any investments without consulting your financial advisor, if you’ve got one. If the person contacting you claims to be one, first confirm they’re who they claim to be and then check if they’re registered via ASIC’s Financial Advisers Register.
